[PATCH v2 3/4] merge: make prepare_to_commit responsible for write_merge_state

[Ryan Biesemeyer <ryan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When merging, make the prepare-commit-msg hook have access to the merge
state in order to make decisions about the commit message it is preparing.

Since `abort_commit` is *only* called after `write_merge_state`, and a
successful commit *always* calls `drop_save` to clear the saved state, this
change effectively ensures that the merge state is also available to the
prepare-commit-msg hook and while the message is being edited.
